This question contains Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$1$ : For a charged particle moving from point $P$ to point $Q$,the net work done by an electrostatic field on the particle is independent of the path connecting point $P$ to point $Q$.
Statement-$2$ : The net work done by a conservative force on an object moving along a closed loop is zero.

  • A
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true; Statement-$2$ is the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.
  • B
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true; Statement-$2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.
  • C
